Positioning and levelling
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.
Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber
coating.
Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by
putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar
materials under the machine.
If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coal-
burning stove, an insulating panel covered with aluminium foil on the side facing
the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances.
The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop
below 0.
The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard,
wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness
in the floor.
Automatic foot:
The rear foot on the left-hand
side of your washing machine is built as a shock
absorbing foot, which is why the appliance gives in
the back left-hand corner if put under load. The
automatic foot guarantees that the appliance does
not move even at high spin speeds. Basically the
automatic foot does not need to be set.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
Do not use the hose from your previous
machine to connect to the water supply.
This appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
1.
Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2.
Connect the hose with the angled connection to
the machine.
